| Dr. Donald K. Carlisle was Superintendent of Schools until his death on June 1, 2017 |
The daughters of Dr. Carlisle have created the Dr. Donald Carlisle Student Grit Scholarship in his honor. "Grit" was a concept that Dr. Carlisle fervently believed in.
This scholarship will be awarded annually to a graduating senior selected by the LLCS Scholarship Committee who has shown tenacity and grit in their work to overcoming a significant obstacle of any kind in their life.
The first scholarship will be awarded at the LLCS High School Graduation on June 23.
According to his family, Dr. Carlisle himself lived a life of gritty determination which led to his own success improving schools and impacting thousands of lives as a school superintendent. Dr. Carlisle was raised in extreme poverty and neglect in Houston, TX. He paid his own way through college at the University of Houston and then continuing his graduate studies.
If you would like to donate to the scholarship fund in Dr. Carlisle's honor, you can do that by following this link to the family's
GoFundMe page.
